Would love the high voltage AC/DC banner that Port use. Would be a good addition to the game. Also NTUA needs to be added at the beginning of the Port home games. Itā€™s very vital and very important. ---

I played a custom game tonightn on PS5 using two teams I created (Moonta and Southern Eagles from the Yorke Peninsula Football League in South Australia). All the logos were there except for the adboards for some reason. ---

Take me back to the nightly patches on steam and the next day on console, now itā€™s go to sleep, wake up and nothingā€¦ I hope the drought ends soon šŸ‘€ Maybe it will happen one day before Bombers make a finals appearance @JNT_BAšŸ˜‰ ---

I mean the daily patches were to fix a raft of small issues closer to game launch. Whereas we are now in the next phase which is more about fixing bigger issues perhaps. ---

Just to add a little realism here, this is ā€œnotā€ going to be a massive super filled mega awesome patch that will bring in everything everyone ever wanted ever. Cause thatā€™s impossible as some people want things that are mutually exclusive. The main adjustments in this will be to the core gameplay feel. This took longer than expected as when we tune what we have been working on we have to make sure that it works with all other systems that the player relies on, so every time something was adjusted it would need to go back into step one of testing to make sure that change didnā€™t have a negative effect. This required lots and lots of testing, loooooots of testing. That being said while waiting for the patch process, development for the next patch is already underway with some more updates again this will be one that needs lots of testing. ---

@JNT_BA Testing is music to my ears, means that people will complain less šŸ˜‚ In terms of thing that are ā€˜mutually exclusiveā€™, surely there are some things that are logical, some takes on here are just ridiculously imaginative ---

No, please no paid DLC. Just make the roster update like other sports games throughout the season. Iā€™m so sick of having to buy DLC with a game thatā€™s still in progression of being fixed. ---

Looking forward to seeing what this patch entails. I have always seen patching as a way of rolling out changes in a timely way without waiting for longer periods. It would be a fine balance. Saying that with all the testing going on we must be patient. I hope the testers donā€™t go through too many controllers in the process šŸ˜‰ ---

I had no issue paying for the DLC to update rosters in Evo 2 so donā€™t see what the fuss is about. I mean there are lots of player movements, new player scans, draftees and subtle guernsey changes, not to mention ground sponsors etc. I almost feel like a new season update should be separate to gameplay fixes. ---

@Chuckinho I think some people are just concerned at this stage that theyā€™ve basically paid for a game with 3 things to do in it, once Pro Team rolls out they might have a change of heart in the value for their money. Donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™ve definitely gotten my moneyā€™s worth and know the game inside and out now, but I can see where people would be coming from. ---

> [@bigdoinks](#): > > No, please no paid DLC. Just make the roster update like other sports games throughout the season. Iā€™m so sick of having to buy DLC with a game thatā€™s still in progression of being fixed. For other sports there are minor changes throughout a season which they can easily and freely patch in - as BigAnt did with the mid-season draftee players without cost to us. However, NBA/FIFA **never** just dish out a new seasonā€™s squads, geurnseys etc. in a new patch free of charge - itā€™s always a brand new full priced game instead (with arguably bugger all actual gameplay changes). The only way weā€™d get 2024 draftees/team changes/fixtures/geurnseys free is if Nacon turns around and provides it as a gesture of good-will for the shonky launch and/or if Xbox and Pro Team are held back until March/April - but thatā€™s not going to happen. Iā€™d rather pay $20 or so for a 2024 season update + additional gameplay features than $79 for a new game. ---

@palmomagpie I think BA need to determine whether they release Pro Team shortly or wait until next season, personally, I feel with the AFL season coming to an end, there is no point considering some players who would be featured wonā€™t even be on lists in 2 months (retirees/delisted etc). The only way it would work is if itā€™s only cards like 2K and not like Fifa with club chemistry etc. [Previous page](https://board.bigant.com/t/afl-23-megathread/22.md?page=35) [Next page](https://board.bigant.com/t/afl-23-megathread/22.md?page=37)
